First of all, the most common subconscious belief that prevents one from accepting oneself is this one: "I have to be perfect to be acceptable".
To change it use this affirmation: "Even though I have imperfections in my thinking, behavior and accomplishments I completely and deeply love and accept myself". On your chest you have a point about midway between your nipple and collarbone that is a bit more sore to pressure than the rest of your chest. Find that spot and rub it clockwise while affirming. If you feel resistance to the statement, like a feeling that it's not true, then affirm out loud and put deep emphasis and conviction on it. Be an actor and pretend you totally believe it. It is about convincing your subconscious mind and it can sometimes be stubborn in it's beliefs.
Rubbing the sore spot while affirming helps reverse the energy on the faulty belief. Do the affirmation every time you feel some sort of self-critisism arising in your mind, and repeat it at least 3 times every time. After keeping that up for a while pay attention to whether there are specific thoughts, behaviors or other things that keeps bringing up self-critisism and lack of self acceptance. For the "repeaters" change the affirmation to "Event though I ....fill in whatever you do not accept from/in yourself...., I deeply and completely love and accept myself, and I forgive myself for ....what you have not accepted in yourself.... And rub the sore spot while affirming.
If you pay attention to your inner critic and meet that critic with rubbing and affirming daily, you will get an increasing level of self-acceptance for each day that passes by.
This is a simplified shortcut version of Emotional Freedom Techniques that works well with problems of self-acceptance.
Best of luck falling in love with yourself (then everybody else will too)!
